96 T4R, beginning of build

I bought it like this, bone stock with a dead motor for $500.




Other than Husky's all around the first real mod was this, cup holder mod.

Came with a wood stereo surround bezel and black everywhere else, swapped in matching wood dash parts and shifter surround.

Finally got tired of staring at the T-15 in my apt. so I put on some warm clothes and had at it.

Next to my wifey's 01 XJ

Since I bought it I've put in a 61K engine, new AC evaporator (old one was caked with dead bugs and crap and was growing crap and stunk to high heaven), Yakima racks, new leather interior door armrests, new passenger door panel, Toyota moonroof visor, newer front door handles (original ones were repainted and didn't match), Husky liners everywhere, 99+ rear cargo panels with the 12V outlet, 2 additional 12V outlets near the ashy tray, 6 gang fuse box under the dash and I'm going to add a smaller one under the hood. I'm also going to add Hella 500s or 700 FFs, an inverter in the rear, radar detector, fuse distribution block under the hood, CB, rear diff breather extension, Toyota wind deflector, working on a Satoshi mod grille so it's got a 99 grille in the hole now, deck plate mod, custom black pearl emblems, 02 sunvisors with homelink and lights wired and ready to go (wifey loves having a lighted mirror!!), OME lift and either BFG MT KMs or GY MTRs and sliders. A rear bumper is in the distant future but definitely in it.
Here is my first Toyota, had to sell it to buy something that I could put a car seat in. Hard to do but well worth it.

At Livingson, KY

The latest before she sold

It's a 98 2.7 5 speed, 3" TM BL, OME 2.5" suspension lift, Overkill Offroad rear bumper, extended shifters, console swap, 33x12.50 BFG MT KM on Wheelers 15x8 rims, Bushwacker Cutout Flares, Leer cap with Yakima roof racks, Manik brushguard with Hella 500s, CB, deckplate mod, alarm with power door locks added, sliders, 4.56 gears locked front and rear, Demello bed bar, diamond clear headlights. It was a very capable truck and never gave me any troubles.

Got a killer deal on some 5 star factory alloys from a T-100. Got a deal on some Nokian Vatiiva tires too and added the CB antennae. CB is on order.

Coors can and old school Cincinnati Reds styrofoam koozie add to the appeal

Black Pearl mod, Satoshi mod but hard to see with the Hella 500s in the way and 1st Gen rollbar fitted, still needs painted and the original pad is on it's way to be installed.





Added the ANL fuse and the AWG fuse block, currently running a fuse distribution block with two 12V accessory outlets and also a Cobra power inverter.

I FINALLY got to give my 4Runner a real hand bath at my Dad's while on vacation. Cheapy wax job too but it was a nice day so WTF!!
Got my Billabong sticker on my fairing.


Sticker freak that I am I added my MB (Myrtle Beach), Ron Jon Surf Shop, QuickSilver and Woody surfer sticker.

Here are my No Sharks, Life is Good and my Tiki Surfer sticker pics

If you look you can see my "Life is too short, go surfing" sticker on the silver trim near the front of the door.

Here's my Dad with his 650CI, man it's fun to drive! Honestly though, I'd rather take the money and buy a Hemi Challenger with a pistol grip shifter. I did let him know that but he's a junky for electronics and cars like this.

Added some Honda JDM sidemarkers b/c I like the style better and they're angled for some reason, I like them so they're on.

Backing it up a bit for full shot. Also added some TRD 4Runner stickers. Laugh but I like them and will be defended when I'm able to afford a supercharger!

Close up of the stickers. Got them off of eBay, nice but I think a smoother sticker would have been better. This one sorta has an orange peel appearance but may clear up with time baking in the sunshine.
